      <p>
         Set the size of the pages used to hold items in the database, in
         bytes. The minimum page size is 512 bytes, the maximum page size is
         64K bytes, and the page size must be a power-of-two.  If the page size
         is not explicitly set, one is selected based on the underlying
         filesystem I/O block size.  The automatically selected size has a
         lower limit of 512 bytes and an upper limit of 16K bytes.
    </p>
      <p>
         For information on tuning the Berkeley DB page size, see

         The <code class="methodname">DB-&gt;set_pagesize()</code> method configures
         a database, not only operations performed using the specified

      <p>
         The <code class="methodname">DB-&gt;set_pagesize()</code> method may not be
         called after the <a class="xref" href="dbopen.html" title="DB-&gt;open()">DB-&gt;open()</a>
         method is called. If the database already exists when 
         <a class="xref" href="dbopen.html" title="DB-&gt;open()">DB-&gt;open()</a>  is called, the
         information specified to

         If creating additional databases in a single physical file,
         information specified to
